Ukoy Recipe - Filipino Shrimp Fritters Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 15 mins Total time: 25 mins Serves: 8 Ingredients ¼ cup flour 1 cup cornstarch 1 cup water ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper 2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon annatto/achuete powder (can be more or less) 1 cup small shrimps + some for toppings 2 cups grated sweet potato oil for frying Spiced vinegar for dipping Instructions In a bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt and ground pepper. Add the water and whisk together until well-blended and smooth. Stir in annatto/achuete powder to the mixture and mix well until color is evenly distributed. Add 1 cup shrimps and grated sweet potato in the mixture and lightly stir to distribute. Heat oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium high heat. Fill a small saucer evenly with about 2-3 tablespoon of the mixture and add 2-3 more shrimps on top. Gently tilt the saucer to slide the mixture into the hot oil and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown. Transfer the deep-fried ukoy in a plate lined with paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Serve while still hot with spiced vinegar.
